double sided tape and body screws if u dont want to keep reinstalling it every week. It also depends on how low u are. If you are really low and scrape all the time even the screw will not hold the lip and u will need washers.

I only used tape when I had it, only installed it once and scraped it a couple times.

I only used the tape and scraped it 500 times and lip is still on.

You got to use gray industrial tape. It can hold up to 5 pounds so no screws are needed.

YES to what joker said! Get the 3M industrial tape from Home Depot! It is gray tape with a red backing. Good Luck!

I have the 3M tape Grey and its not enough. Ive replaced the lips 3 times so far. The screws makes it last much longer. Im about 2 inches from the ground. Definitely try the 3M double tape first, but if you ever have the lip falling off, you know what to do...
